'But every game is difficult. The last two matches we played (at home), Swansea and Crystal Palace: 1-0, 2-1. You have to give everything to win matches.'

Eden Hazard scored the only goal against Swansea as Chelsea again failed to add to their advantage.

Mourinho felt the Belgium forward should have earned a penalty when tackled by Jordi Amat in the second half and that Hazard's trickery is deserving of more spot-kicks.

'I think that happens a lot, that Eden Hazard beats people, goes into the box and is not getting penalties in situations like that,' Mourinho said.

The Portuguese praised Eto'o, despite the striker missing two clear chances to net his third Premier League goal of the season.

'He did well,' Mourinho added.

'I want that feeling that my strikers are working to have chances.

'I want them to shoot, I want the goalkeeper to save, the ball to hit the post.'

Ref justice: Mourinho claims that Eden Hazard should have been awarded a penalty against Swansea

Chelsea face Liverpool without midfielder Ramires, who is suspended for one match after picking up a fifth yellow card of the season against Swansea. Frank Lampard will almost certainly take his place.Further changes are likely, with the possibility Cesar Azpilicueta and Gary Cahill will return in defence in place of Ashley Cole and David Luiz.

John Terry is in line to make his 600th Chelsea appearance and Ivanovic will start at right-back, having missed only Capital One Cup matches this season in an illustration of his importance to Chelsea and Mourinho.

Ivanovic added: 'I try to do my best every game and if the manager selects me for every game, I'm happy.'
